What influences a consumer’s purchasing behavior? A few factors that come to mind are brand awareness, product knowledge, advertisements, and references. To understand the depth of this intrinsic behavior, this paper explores the various factors that contribute to a consumer’s purchasing pattern. A very powerful tool that guides consumer behavior is word-of-mouth advertisement. Barry L. Bayus, writing in a column in Journal of Advertising Research had this to say on the indirect effects of marketing; “The business community is well aware of the power of word-of-mouth on consumers, and they are also equally aware how catastrophic it can be if ...

Being known to people is a social phenomenon that is ascribed to the objects that the popular individual interacts with. People in the society become well known because of the collective attention that they get from the societal members. Although all human beings have a role that they play in the society, the individuals who are well known provoke a social influence to other members in the society. The reports that individuals give towards the person determines a person's popularity or how well the person is known. However, every individual is significant; all that differs is the level of popularity among other members ...

In regards to Relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity.
Opinions could be based on your culture/folklore, your parents/grandparents, TV/videogames, and unless you can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, your specific morality cannot be objective and it probably won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations.

Restatement of Problem
The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior.

This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort of ...

The Mending Wall

The Mending Wall is a poem that revolves around the saying, “Good fences make good neighbors,” as stated in the 27th line. The speaker and his neighbor, both separated by a wall made of stone, are the main protagonists in the poem. The poem itself is a setting where both the speaker and his neighbor record one of their rare instances of meeting one another – during spring, a time when they make repair on their sides of the wall together (Holland 365-385). A thorough reading of the poem would bring one to realize that the speaker is highly unconvinced as to why the ...
